STUDENT POLL
What is your opinion con
cerning the three day ex
am period at the end of the
term?
Kathy Kumke 3rd term
Applied Arts:
“The 10 weeks are too crammed
the way it is, without having the
final exams come in the last week
of classes.”
Tom Smith 3rd term
Education:
“The 10-week term is too short
as it is. We need all the class time
we can get without having finals
during the regular class period.”
Joseph Konar 3rd term
Secondary Education:
“I think the final exams should
be held in the last week of classes,
because I would rather get out
sooner so I could work longer in
order to earn money so I can come
back to school next year. I know
many other such cases where the
extra three days are more impor
tant financially than they would
be if they were used for taking
tests.”
Marie Melchiorre 3rd term
Agriculture:
“Well, I' believe that if the in
structor has sufficiently covered
the material that is necessary for
the course before the last class
period, then it is not necessary to
utilize the three days for testing.”
Wayne Najduch 3rd term
“Final exams should be done
away with entirely. Grades should
reflect what you do during the
class periods during the regular
10 weeks. Too much emphasis is
put on that final hour of testing.”
Gregg Smith 6th term
Liberal Arts:
“Exams are an important meas
ure of what has been achieved by
the student during the regular
study and work period of
10 weeks. Because of the impor
tance of examinations, the three
day exam period is important and
necessary.”
